Dice and Dragons

Tony Foti creates a dynamic cover for Scholastic’s Science World, translating the logic and imagination of Dungeons & Dragons into a vivid editorial image.

Tony's cover for Science World positions Dungeons & Dragons as both spectacle and system.

A towering dragon, a spellcasting protagonist, and an oversized twenty-sided die anchor the composition, turning gameplay into a stage where chance feels tangible.

Tony delivers cinematic drama; using light and motion to guide the eye while reinforcing the magazine’s educational focus on probability and decision-making.

The result is an image that works on two levels: immediate fantasy appeal for young readers, and a visual shorthand for the structured thinking behind the game.
